Well no mistaking what their business is, Kathy :) I love the New England charm of this scene, and it seems you have done well in bringing out the individual colors while preserving the grey feel of the bayside setting. I think a step or two to the right would have improved your pov so as to include just a bit of the right side perspective of the building; this would give the eye a transition line to the water and a full view of the red boat. I agree with your decision to leave the sign intact. It adds to the "happy clutter" of the subject.
